Being an anti-oppressive social worker is not just a sexy term to say. It is a social worker making a conscious and reflexive choice to engage in liberatory and emancipatory practice. It is who you are in and outside of practice. But what does this really mean? This session will provide participants with a foundation of what it means to be anti-oppressive in micro and macro social work practice. Principles of anti-oppressive practice will be provided, along with common language and terminology associated with AOP. Participants will be provided with how to incorporate AOP in micro and macro practice, using examples/scenarios across various practice areas including direct service, clinical, advocacy, and activism.
